share 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Barry Keoghan is gearing up to portray Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ upcoming series of Beatles biopics, a casting decision seemingly confirmed by Starr himself. The ambitious project, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes, will consist of four interconnected films, each focusing on a different member of the legendary band — John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight , Starr addressed reports of Keoghan’s involvement, saying the actor is a “great” choice and is already preparing for the role by “taking drum lessons.
” Starr, known for his characteristic modesty, humorously added, “I hope not too many,” referring to his own famously offbeat drumming style. Starr’s remarks serve as the first real confirmation of Keoghan’s casting, following months of speculation about the project. The four films are set to be released separately by Sony Pictures, with Mendes taking the helm for each instalment.
Alongside Keoghan, Harris Dickinson , Paul Mescal , and Joseph Quinn are reportedly in talks to play John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, respectively. However, none of these other castings have been officially confirmed. While Dickinson and Mescal have responded to casting rumours, both have remained coy, neither confirming nor denying their involvement.
